Question

Another day begins with the call of the phone’s alarm, Where are you? Open your eyes. Turn the alarm off and you will start working out on your apps（應(yīng)用軟件）.

First stop, weather: Sunny day. Look outside the window. Oh, no, it isn’t. Second stop, Air Quality Index: 344, dangerous, Level 6 Severely Polluted. Mental recheck required: It really is a sunny day and the weather app isn’t lying or in need of being replaced, it’s just that you can’t see the sun through the thick fog. Note to self: Cycling to work is out, face mask is in.

Has the world stopped turning? News app merely confirms that it’s business as usual. Another government has fallen, your soccer team has lost again, and China’s economy is still increasing steadily.

    Diary app informs you of all the things you failed to do the previous day and loads you up with another half-dozen tasks. Next, browse a couple of social networking apps to determine the status updates of friends.

    Another sound from the phone, it’s a message from your significant friend who is already at work, saying the Taobao. com order for Italian cheese is about to arrive.

    Apps have become part of our “every-moment” lives. Apps provide so much information. But the dark side to all this connectivity would be lack of privacy, being a slave to the app. The only real problem is that once you lose your smartphone, you lose your life.

    Some friends and family do not have smartphones, but prefer the old-fashioned Nokia that merely makes phone calls and sends instant messages. While I respect their purity and desire to be free of the control of technology, it’s obvious they are outsiders, and their lives are loaded up with paper and old devices. They’re still buying books at stores, complaining the lack of CDs on the market, watching TV and missing out on complete news cycles. Though I would add, they have lives that aren’t spent inside small screens.

My phone is a palm-sized one-stop shop and about the only thing it doesn’t do is teleport（心靈運輸）. What’s not to like?

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的First stop, weather，Second stop, Air Quality Index，第四段的Diary app informs you of all the things you failed to do the previous day 可知apps的功能有:空氣，空氣質(zhì)量指數(shù)，告訴你沒能做到的事情。所以A,C,D項屬于 apps的功能。故選B。

2.作者態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第六段的But the dark side to all this connectivity would be lack of privacy, being a slave to the app. The only real problem is that once you lose your smartphone, you lose your life. the app 會使人們?nèi)鄙匐[私，淪為它的奴隸，唯一的一個問題就是一旦你失去你的智能手機，你就失去了你的生命。所以說 apps 控制了你的生命。故選A。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的Some friends and family do not have smartphones, but prefer the old-fashioned Nokia that merely makes phone calls and sends instant messages.一些朋友和家庭，沒有智能手機，他們更喜歡舊式的，只能打電話和發(fā)短信的諾基亞手機。所以可以推斷出C項正確。
